Does anyone recognize the recruits in the pics RTC posted on their FB? They didn't caption the pics, so there's no telling whose kids those are. Lol. If you see your boy and are certain, then we know:).

We got a call today and our 1st letter yesterday. Surprised since we got a call last Sunday too. He sounded much better,seems to have settled in just like everyone had said. Still misses home but he said it was getting better. He's getting used to all the yelling too. He said the division is doing well so that was good to hear. Not sure how often they send letters but he had 4 days of letters in one envelope. He said he had received our letters too but it was hard to read them because it made him miss home more. Can't wait to see him...April24th can't come soon enough.

We received a call last night as well! So glad to here his voice! First call since "I'm here" he sounded real tired, said he wasn't sleeping much. He also asked not to write him in red ink, the lights are red so it is difficult to read! Never even thought of that! He also said there were people in his division that are doing Mass Communication. Anyone in this groups loved one doing that?

I got a call two weeks in a row as well, was very very surprised! pleasantly surprised. Even though it was very brief, his dad took up most of his time on his call. :( but I will take short and sweet anytime over nothing. How many out there with SR's on ship 03, div 157? What is Mass Communication?
